Love is a momentary thing or a lifetime thing

"Blue Valentine" actually translates to Blue Valentine's Day is inaccurate, "Blue" here is depressed melancholy. By the time I finished it, I was utterly gloomy. Dean and Cindy, a couple, have a relationship from rich and enchanting to fragmented. They are all fragments of records, fragments of feelings.
Ryan Gosling, who plays Dean, was born in 1980.11 and is only two years older than me. He is also a Scorpio. He has always been inexplicably fond of Scorpio boys, delicate and sensitive. Gosling is not too handsome, with a slightly handsome face, but I have loved him for a long time since the "Notebook of Love" I watched in college. He's maybe 120% into the character, so I always have the illusion that it's him on the screen. This Dean he played is sensitive, passionate, some potential in music, crazy in loving his wife. This is a distressing role, such a husband actually makes love a burden to marriage. I was very puzzled, and I watched it two or three times, just to find out where their marriage didn't work? In the end, she was powerless to think that it was just that Cindy didn't love him anymore. Her dislike made her unable to be willing. She sneered at his work and his thoughts. Why don't you love it, I don't know. Maybe love is just a momentary thing, it comes as fast as a tsunami, drowns people in an instant, and disappears without a trace. Do not love, any word becomes redundant. There's a scene at Cindy's father's house where they're arguing over the divorce and Dean is leaning against the wall, grief-stricken over and over again: "Tell me what else could I do? Just tell me, I'll do it…I 'll do it...I'll do it...." He was willing to make any changes for her, but she didn't love him anymore, couldn't bear to live with him, and even got tired of every second with him. In the last scene, the fireworks are gorgeous and set off the back of the male protagonist, which is so beautiful that it makes people cry.
I have also repeatedly thought about how long the love in marriage can survive. If the love disappears, should we turn around and withdraw or maintain the status quo, then what about our vows and our responsibilities. But some people also say that love is not only a momentary thing but also a lifetime thing, so how to get a lifetime love, how to pay to get it.
